With regard to the planning application for a retail unit and flats above the Dragon pub site, Parr Lane, this is a great opportunity for councillors and MPs to band together to support this small business in our community and to prove to the person in the street that our voices are heard.
We love Prestwich and Whitefield, we the community love Bury and wish to maintain this small family run business which would get sucked into oblivion with another mini supermarket.
With 2012 in mind let us show the visitors to our country we are a a people working together with community spirit, selflessly for the good of the whole.
This site is yards away from Unsworth primary school and the traffic in that area in the morning and afternoon is already a bottleneck. To add to that with the added volume of traffic to a new store is a danger.
We also have St George’s, Castlebrook, All Saints, St Michael’s and Mersey Drive. People travel from all directions to the various schools using this road.
